We are honored to welcome Scott Goldstein, VP of Development and Casting and Bright Spot Content an All 3 Media American Company, who joins us from Los Angeles. Here are all the amazing accolades that Scott has achieved in his incredible career. "Scott Goldstein serves as VP of Development and Casting for Bright Spot Content. Scott plays a central role in the creation of new concepts as well as the selection of on-screen talent for the company’s development and current productions. With seventeen years of experience in unscripted production, Scott has worked in multiple roles on top-rated shows. His early credits include casting for gameshow, dating, competition and reality series including Deal or No Deal, Beauty and The Geek, Wipeout, Flavor of Love and Below Deck. He went on to become a producer, helping to craft storylines for popular series, such as Jerseylicous, Chicagolicious, The Glam Fairy and The Customer is Always Right. In recent years, Scott has worked as a Development Executive for successful production companies, including Story Monster TV (an Endemol Shine Company) and Discovery Studios, before taking up his current position at Bright Spot Content." We met Scott when we filmed a reality TV Show sizzle reel with our dance studio Prestige Dance and Performing Arts Centre about 7 years ago. Sadly nothing ever came from the show but we had a ton of fun going through the process. Scott talks about how many shows get worked on and never make it and how fun and rewarding it is to work on a show that does make it and becomes a part of pop culture. We find out how Scott got into the industry and how working on Deal or No Deal for 3 years changed everything for him. He worked with Howie Mandell and Megan Markle. He travelled the country where 8000 people would show up to audition. They got to change some peoples lives by giving them $ 1,000.000. He tells us that if you win on THE PRICE IS RIGHT you have to pay taxes on all the prizes. We share the story of Scott's amazing proposal to his beautiful wife Adrian on the Steve Harvey Show and he tells us the truth what really happened, the scheme he had to come up with and all the behind the scenes details. Scott's wife opened the Mane Addict hair salon during Covid and is one block from Rodeo Drive. We talk about the San Francisco 49ers the curse of the Dallas Cowboys and of course Jimmy GQ Garappolo. Scott worked with Bob Saget on the American Game show 1 vs 100 and he says that Bob Saget was one of the nicest people he has ever had the pleasure working with. He says that Bob was the ultimate professional and would shake every crew members hand every single night thanking them. Scott has worked with a lot of people, but Bob Saget was the only one to ever do that. Then he tells a hilarious story about Bob Saget when he would work on his risque stand up comedy in between commercial breaks. The most popular show he has put together recently is "Hotties" on Hulu. "MARCELLA IS SINGLE" Scott has a heart to heart conversation with Marcella and this is absolutely hilarious - Do not miss it. Then Cruz and Scott are plotting how to make a dating show on the podcast with Marcella. Then Scott asks Marcella some "REAL QUESTIONS". :) Scott met his wife on the JDate dating app, which is a Jewish dating site. We talk about Scott's exciting life, going to red carpet events and we hope that Reality TV will be able to win awards just like the scripted shows do. Scott shares 2 of his favorite casting stories - one for the show "AGE OF LOVE" and one for the show "FLAVOR OF LOVE". Both stories are unbelievable. WOW. Stay tuned to Part 2 ........
